problem #1

Mar 172007

RX 300 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 67,000 miles
Parked the car at a parking lot for 5 minutes, came back and the car won't go in reverse, checked fluid level, it was fine.. car would go forward, but not backwards.. tried pushing the car while in neutral so I can drive home, all 4 wheels were locked, I thought I don't have enough strength to push so I had 2 more people push with me, but the car won't budge. Even tried pushing the car while running and in neutral as well as not running and in neutral and all other gear selections, but to no avail. Even the tow truck guy had to use soapy water to slide the car up the flat bed. Vehicle has only 68000 miles approximately.
